D-Wave says quantum supremacy result stands; Flatiron work does not reproduce hardest cases

D-Wave Quantum Inc.

Company states recent classical simulation work from Flatiron Institute does not overturn its peer-reviewed Science result.
CEO Alan Baratz says full scope of demonstration, including hardest cases and measurements, has not been reproduced.
CDO Trevor Lanting notes BP-TNS algorithm fails for strongly coupled 3D spin glasses and biclique problems.
Original Science paper showed matching quantum simulation quality would require nearly 1M years on Frontier supercomputer.
D-Wave encourages classical progress but distinguishes meaningful advance from overturning a quantum supremacy claim.
